BarnDescription
A development site in Great Bardfield comprising a Grade II listed barn and a second barn, with planning permission stated for a new-build property within the grounds. The listed building offers scope for a distinctive conversion, while the additional barn and permitted new dwelling provide further development possibilities. Any proposed works remain subject to the relevant consents, with the listed status an important consideration. The site is just off Braintree Road in a village setting.

33out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
The standout here is the canvas: a Grade II listed barn with high, timber-framed open interiors, plus a separate barn and stated planning permission for a new-build property within the grounds. That gives a buyer scope to shape a distinctive home around the existing character and explore the additional build opportunity, subject to verifying permissions and feasibility. The visible spaces are not presented as completed domestic accommodation, so this is a substantial conversion and development project rather than a straightforward renovation.
At £900,000, the value comparison is incomplete: floor area is missing, so the price versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The overall score is 33/100 (E), reflecting limited evidence on condition and project economics alongside high uncertainty. The photographs show the buildings standing, but do not establish the condition of their structure, services or roofs; listed status may also constrain design choices.
Key opportunities
- Create a distinctive residence from the Grade II listed barn, working with its exposed timber framing and generous open volumes.
- Explore the separate barn and the stated planning permission for a new-build property within the grounds, subject to checking the permission and its conditions.
- Shape the grounds and approach around the substantial barn buildings; the visible gravel and scrubby planting leave scope to establish a more considered setting.
Key risks
- The open barn interiors have limited finishes and no completed domestic accommodation is evidenced, making this a conversion-scale budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The photographs cannot establish the condition of the roof, structure, fabric or services, so these need thorough investigation.
- Grade II listed status may limit design and construction options.
